North Queensland extends Kaiden Lahrs' contract until 2027, securing the talented forward amidst poaching threats.
North Queensland has successfully staved off a poaching raid on Australian Schoolboys prop Kaiden Lahrs, agreeing to a one-year extension to keep the promising 20-year-old forward in Townsville.
Lahrs will remain a Cowboy until at least the end of 2027 as he looks to add to his eight NRL appearances since making his debut against the Dolphins in 2025.
The young gun's signature will bolster North Queensland's ageing forward pack after versatile utility Sam McIntyre agreed to a two-year deal with the New Zealand Warriors from 2027.
The son of Canberra Raiders and Queensland icon Tom Learoyd-Lahrs battled a nightmare run of injuries after finishing high school as one of the country's top prospects, but has since found some continuity playing for the Townsville Blackhawks in the Queensland Cup.
Cowboys recruitment and list manager Clint Zammit said the club was delighted to put pen to paper.
